@MysticalFists
Sadly the Mining/Trading Fleet Mod is a bit broken after few patches, it doesnt copy over all setting anymore.
But someone is making a new Mod for that called Civilian Fleet Mod.
I think he allready works on Tater Implementation but hit a little speedbump doing it.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
This mod seems to be broken in 2.6 beta 2 just FYI. Ship keeps spamming about the trade it is going to make and keeps trying to path to the station but it cancels the route over and over again.
Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Could be problem with homebound, some of my taterTraders are taking long routes, all these had homebound checked. All others working fine so far.
paskaa hetulaan.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Hi there!
Love this mod and started again playing since...i think it was march where i last touched it.
i have some more Mods installed this time, and also the Beta 3.0 Update.
The problem i have is that in the new sectors, someone build a nice station, or tried to build, and since my traders look for the ebst deal, this one is it. The problem i have is that they go there and get destroyed.
Atfirst i thought the exclusion lists that are newly added are a great feature, wanted to try that. The error here is that taterTrader ignores them until i completly block the sectors and fractions in all lists.
Now this gives the error that tater still tries to go there, but the order gets instantly Cancelled, basically ending up in a loop.
So yes, there are the Exclusion lists in TaterTrader itself, and that works fine no worrys there.
BUT!
Its tedious to add this sector to alot of ships.
I mean i found out how to edit the defaults so that Tater trader is basically just a fire and go weapon now, but i cant figure out how to add the new sectors by default.
Is there a way to do so at all in the xml script?
will there maybe be a "set defaults" option in the next update? i would really appreciate this QoL upgrade ;D

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
How do I get the traders to only "buy" wares from my own station? No matter what settings I use they still buy from NPC stations.
Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
The only way to do that it to adjust the buy mod from own stations (putting it at 0%). They wont ONLY get your stuff (because a free pickup of 20 items will never match a full load regular trade) but they'll fill up if your station produce fast enough.
Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Best mod ever, thank you~

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Dead Air has a fork on github that fixes a few issues, go there for the details.
Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Yeah, but looks like it has issues with enumeration of available trade offers. Even placing satellites near stations didn't help. My traders were doing only in-sector trades and were sitting with question mark if I extend their area of operations. Only after I bought trade subscription, they began to freely trade inside subscribed region.
Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
I have not seen any issues with this. They run slower on finding trades in larger areas with more goods to preserve performance. You could always increase scan speed if you are willing to take the hit. I run sector satellites though so it could be a vanilla bug.Net-burst wrote: ↑Thu, 9.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Same, I also use Sector Satellites, but that isn't helping. I also tried increasing speed. But yeah, it looks like vanilla bug. I just don't know how to debug stuff like thatDeadAirRT wrote: ↑Thu, 9.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Can you try modifying the owned station buy/sell mod values? When I do that with your fork, the trader never moves, and my log is spammed with tens of thousands of the error:DeadAirRT wrote: ↑Thu, 9.

Still trying to isolate what causes the error to show up. Maybe it's the "check distance" box, still looking.drhay53 wrote: ↑Thu, 9.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
I've isolated it to the CheckDistance box. However by turning on script logging I will say that I couldn't find any scenarios where tater trader wasn't working at all. It was always calculating. But it seems really, really slow, way slower than I remember. I recommend using the FastTrade setting, limiting the number of jumps, and possibly even limiting the number of wares. The usual stuff to speed up trade calculations.
Unlike some other scripts I've noticed recently, TaterTrader is keeping it's control when the ship becomes a subordinate of a station. Some other scripts seem to be having control taken away and set to autotrade when they become a subordinate.
edit: With help from discord, it looks like explicit typecasting solved the issue. I opened a PR on github for the simple fix.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
Hi,
Are Tater Traders supposed to obey Black Lists? My ships are insisting on flying through Xenon sectors to their death. They also trade in Xenon sectors where a Faction is attempting to build. I have both Travel and Activity Blacklists for Enemy sectors, yet these don't appear to be being obeyed. Should they, or do I need to manually add ALL enemy sectors manually per trader?
Cheers,
Scoob.

Re: [WIP][Mod]TaterTrader v4- An Autotrade Alternative
I had the same issue. DeadAir provided me an updated version in Discord. I played 3h with it and it didn't happen again for me. But I have just a small trading fleet.
